PEGGlNG-JACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 446,312, dated February10, 1891.

Application filed November 20, 1890. Serial No. 372,027. (No model.)

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MEAN J AKOB WIKLE,

.a citizen of Switzerland, residing at \Vest IIojack. Fig. 2 is an endview of Fig.1.

or hammering In the drawings, the letter A indicates a base or support,from which rise the toe-rest and heel-rest, both fixed to the base A.The toe-rests consist of an arm or standard B, having a projectingportion (J, which can readily enter and support the toe part of the soleof a boot or shoe. The heel-rest consists of an arm or standard D, uponwhich the heel part of the sole can be supported during pegging Theupper faces of the toe and heel rests are rounded so as to fit the innercuiw'atures of a sole. By this construction the shoe can be pegged orhammered directly on the rests B D, thus dispensing with a last.

A toe-rest E, placed near the heel-rest D, supports the toe part of aboot or shoe while its heel is being supported on the heel-rest. Thetoe-rest E has its lower end journaled on a pivot-bolt G, which iscarried by a projecting ear formed with or otherwise provided on thebase-plate A. The pivot-bolt carries at one end a thumb-nut II, whichserves to clamp the journaled end of the toe-rest E against the ear,whereby the toe-rest is held against movement in any direction untilreleased by the clampingmut. The upper end of the toerest E is forked toreceive the toe portion of the boot or shoe, and such forked end can beadjusted to and from the heel-rest D, and after adjustment can be lockedimmovable through the medium of the clamping-nut H on the pivot-bolt G.

The entire device being Simple and cheaply made it is not liable to getout of order, and

is adapted for general use not only in facto:

ries but also in stores or shops.

- What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is

A pegging-jack consisting of a base-plate provided with a heel-rest anda projecting ear,a screw-threaded pivot-bolt carried by the ear, aswinging toe-rest having its lower end journaled and turning upon thescrew threaded bolt, and a screw-clamp nut engaging the bolt to clampthe toe-rest immovably between the nut and the ear which carries thepivot-bolt, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

JouAN JAKos WIKLE.
